Cracking the code of the non-coding genome via allele-specific genomics?
Can we link non-coding elements—like lncRNAs and enhancers—to their protein-coding target genes, and in doing so, connect overlapping non-coding disease variants to their protein-coding counterparts?

A new study from the MBL reveals that activating a group of neurons in the axolotl brain is essential for tail regeneration.
The findings point to the possibility that a comparable group of neurons impacts regenerative responses in mammals.
